Learning guitar begins with three pillars: how to hold the instrument, how to tune it, and how to form basic chords.

• A tuner app or clip-on device helps you tune quickly and accurately.
• Open chords like E minor, A minor, C, G, and D are the building blocks of countless songs.
• A metronome helps you develop steady timing from the very beginning.

Once you can switch between a few chords smoothly, try playing along to a simple song you enjoy.

Private guitar tuition in Steyning usually runs at £30/h on average.

This rate often differs depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (complete novice through to experienced player)
• The teacher's credentials and background (conservatoire training, gigging history)
• How long and how often you book (half-hour, full hour, one-off or regular)
• The lesson format (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)

Many tutors offer discounts for block bookings, which lowers the cost per lesson. A first session at no charge is common, letting you test the teaching style.

In guitar terms, 80/20 means prioritising the techniques and chords you'll actually use most.

• Most hit songs from the 1960s to today use variations of these basic chords.
• The pentatonic scale is the 20% of theory that unlocks 80% of lead guitar solos.
• Drummers and singers rely on guitarists who keep steady time.
